The Greatest Beast Tamer of Earth-Chapter 54 Broken Passive Skills

?"Rishab is right. We can easily defeat them," said Dilip.

"Let's practice our Star formation, which we came up with for this type of situation," suggested Ajit.

Everyone lined up in the star formation. In it Lalit, Dev, and Ajit have lined up in a big triangle. While Dilip, Manu, and Rishi lined together in a smaller inverted triangle, together the two triangles created a star-shaped formation.

Still, their position was exactly in between the members of the first triangle, so they could assist two people at a time. Inside the second triangle was Jay and Rishi's second contract beast, Vakar.

"Let's practice moving together in this formation, so we don't make any mistakes in the battle," said Dev; everyone followed his lead and practiced moving together in the new formation, It was much more complex than the earlier formation because of which they were a little clumsy at first, but they soon improved and got used to it.

They were practicing when they heard a loud cry, "Chiii," the reinforcements had come; Rishi and his team looked at the thirty Orcs that had come very fast and decided to take care of them quickly.

"Attack," said Dev, all guild members followed his lead and started attacking the Orcs. The leader of the Orc also commanded his soldiers to attack their enemies, and the enraged Orcs charged at them to avenge their fellow villagers.

"Everyone, don't use the attacks that use a lot of mana, only use basic skills to kill as many as possible we don't know how much will come, so it's better to save mana," said Dev.

Jay started shooting three arrows at a time toward the approaching wave of enemies; Vakar too, used its 'water bullet' skill to shoot as many enemies as possible.

Due to his broken passive skills, he could attack continuously; his first passive skill was 'Mana Drain,' which recovered twenty percent of his mana when hitting an enemy and fifty percent more when killing an enemy; this passive was even more broken because of the natural mana regeneration of Vakar.

His other skill, 'Blessed by Mana,' gave him triple mana than any similar magic beast of the same level. It also reduced the cooldown of his spells by thirty percent when they hit an enemy, and ten further reduced the cooldown of his spells by twenty percent if they killed an enemy.

Even if any other magic beast had these two passive skills together, he couldn't match Vakar because casting spells also reduce stamina when using them continuously.

Every mage will get tired if he casts spells continuously, even if he had unlimited mana, but this was not the case with Vakar due to his bird-type racial passive skill 'Hollow Bones,' which gave him three times the stamina of any other magic beast of the same level plus his stamina recovered six times faster which made him cast spells for much more time. Especially spells like 'water bullet' that required only 3 MP to use and had a one-second cooldown.

In simple terms, due to his passive skills, Vakar could cast his 'Water bullet' spell instantly and shoot like a machine gun with unlimited ammo till he gets mentally exhausted. The only weakness of this strategy was that he couldn't move to dodge the attacks, and the second, it could only do limited damage to high leveled enemies, but for the current situation, it was perfect.

Dev was at the front while Lalit and Ajit were by his side, while Rishi, Manu, and Dilip were behind them, ready to assist their teammates at the front whenever necessary.

Dev used his Sword to slash the nearby enemies as soon as possible; this time, he didn't hold back at all; the severed body parts of Orcs could be seen near him. His contract beast, too, attacked the nearby enemies. Lalit commanded its contract beast to push back the enemies in front of him, after which he used his Sword to kill them.

Ajit attacked the Orcs approaching him; Dilip and Manu saw that Lalit and Ajit needed assistance, so they quickly left their position to help them. Rishi also used his Bow to assist Dev, making it easier for him to defeat his enemies.

Vakar and Jay were attacking the weak enemies creating chaos around the battlefield. They have killed only four orcs each but have injured countless Orcs.

Jay mainly targeted the vulnerable parts of the Orc body, like eyes, mouth, and neck, while Vakar targeted the Orcs. It didn't matter much to him where he should aim; this was because he was less experienced, but due to the penetration ability of his skill, which ignored some amount of defense from the enemy, he was doing pretty well. However, Jay couldn't watch Vakar not using his skill in the best way possible and decided to teach him.

"Target eyes, mouth, and neck of Orcs," said Jay. Vakar looked at Jay and made a 'Krankk' sound as if asking what he wanted. Jay approached Rishi and told him how they could better use Vakar.

Rishi agreed with Jay's suggestion and called Vakar and told him how he should use his ability, after which Vakar went back and attacked again; this time, he took two seconds to cast his skill, but the 'water bullet' missed the part where Vakar wanted it to, but then also it injured the enemy.

Vakar started using his skill by aiming at the Orc's weak points, and after each attack, it got closer and closer to the spot it wanted to target.

At the same time, Dilip slaughtered more than seven Orcs before returning to his position; Manu killed four Orcs and retreated. The fight continued for two more minutes, after which everyone decided to rest a bit before other enemies arrived.

They also moved away from the battlefield as it was full of corpses of Orcs, which made it not a good place to rest. Rishi also supplied all people with the potions he had brought to help them recover fast.

For five more minutes, no one came, which surprised Rishi as, according to his knowledge, there were many Orc groups near their location and should have arrived now. 𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝗼𝐦

"Rishab, I am getting a bad feeling. I can't tell what it is, but I can sense that danger is approaching," said Dev, which further solidified Rishi's belief that something was wrong.

"I also think the next battle will be last; either we will be forced to leave the dungeon after losing, or we will leave after winning," commented Ajit.

"What are the Odds?" asked Lalit.

"one by three," replied Ajit.

"66% chance to win is pretty solid," said Lalit.

"That's our chance to lose; we only have a 33% chance to win," said Ajit.

"33% is good, too," said Lalit.

"Let's see how this goes," commented Dev.

They were all resting when they heard drum beats, after which the sound of many Orcs coming towards them could be heard; Rishi was the first to notice their presence. "Everybody get ready. They are here."

Other members were confused when they couldn't see any enemy, but they soon heard the sound of the enemy approaching; after some time, they could see countless Orcs coming towards them from all directions.

"Everyone take your position," commanded Dev; everyone took their positions and waited for the enemies.
